The role of Information System Design Theory in software development is enormous. With the help of design theory, developers could estimate how the system will be and the reasons why the system reacts that way. The focus of the article is to revised and re-establish the design theory of a self-service university management system. The objectives of this publication are to identify the most relevant publication that will act as a guideline to generate the design theory artifacts and to establish the artifacts which will consist of three components named kernel theory, meta-requirements, and meta-design for the stated system. The system scope will be focused on enabling self-service functions. Validation will be done through FEDS framework with the inclusion of a traceability matrix between the meta-requirement against the real-world user requirement. The significance of this article is to provide an initial set of design theory artifacts to be utilized by software developers in the development or evaluation of a University Management System.

An approach to an ontology-based information system design theory for spatial information system development is presented. This approach addresses the dynamic nature of information system development at the beginning of the 21st century and addresses the question of how to establish relationships between the various design components of a spatial information system. It should also help to automate and guide the design process while at the same time improve the quality of the process along with its outputs. An example of this approach is presented, along with examples of the various ontologies utilized in the design of this particular spatial information system. Finally, a method to mitigate the issues regarding the organization and management of a growing library of ontologies is discussed.

Research Question: REA enterprise ontology framework, what is it good for? Motivation: The historical approach to accounting and management information system design was based on conventions expected by the end-users: debits and credits, accounting cycles, general ledger and journals, bank reconciliations, budgeting function, and select management reports. This approach resulted in gross inefficiencies, data-duplication, and inconsistencies, difficulty with system update, modification, porting, and restoration. An alternative system design theory has been in development since 1982, an approach that is easy to understand, formulate, document, and implement; an approach that applies a basic semantic model of structuring all information flow into a widely applicable enterprise ontology framework that facilitates economic activities and strategic planning for the whole enterprise. Yet, until now, this approach is insufficiently known and seldom utilized. Idea: Our purpose is to provide a comprehensive theory guide for anyone desiring to be acquainted with the REA. Data: We review 55 publications comprising dominant Resource-Events-Agents (REA) theory research. Tools: Methodologically, we obtain, classify, define, and discuss the content of major research streams within REA domain. Contribution: The paper's contribution is in structured and comprehensive review enabling a novice to REA reader time-efficient acquaintance with the intricacies and benefits of the ontology, and information system researchers with wide-ranging theory review in this domain. We conclude with a discussion of contentions and challenges surrounding REA theory and its future developmental directions.
